In this video we will learn how to say “I like something”. It works a little bit different in Spanish than it does in English. In English, I’m doing the liking. In Spanish, is the thing that pleases me. Basically, there are two forms of the verb ‘gustar’ that are used: Gusta/Gustan. If there’s just one thing that pleases me, we say ‘me gusta‘. If there’s two or more things, we say ‘me gustan‘, with an -n at the end. Then we add the thing/things that please us.
